The report provides an insight into the achievements of Bourke Shire Council throughout the year and outlines these achievements according to our community strategic plan and vision for the community. The year has been one of change for Bourke Shire Council with the retirement of our General Manager, Geoff Wise and the welcoming of Ross Earl to the position. Throughout the year several of our longest serving staff also retired from their positions and I wish them well with their retirements and new roles. Bourke Shire Council also underwent a Promoting Better Practice Review and it is a credit to all staff and Councillors that there were no significant adverse comments and many of the recommendations of the review team were implemented immediately. The Independent Local Government Review Panel continued to meet with Councillors and Staff and formal responses were provided to the Panel in regards to the various review papers. The Local Government Review may mean change for Bourke Shire Council and we await the Government’s response and determination of which recommendations will be implemented. Councillors have lobbied to ensure that Bourke Shire Council remains a Local Government entity in its own right and is strongly opposed to the formation of a large ‘Western Region Authority’, perhaps governed from Broken Hill. I have continued to represent the Bourke community in relation to the many issues that we face in Western New South Wales. Both our State and Federal local members continue to actively represent us and assist in issues such as seeking improvement to local roads, improvements to social and economic well being, in the area of water reform and reinstatement of air services. In part of the review of the Bourke Shire Community Strategic Plan, Councillors and staff visited all the other towns and villages within the Shire to provide the opportunity for input from the residents of those areas. Thank you to all staff of Bourke Shire Council for the work you have undertaken throughout the year. I extend my sincere thanks to the Deputy Mayor, Cr Barry Hollman and fellow Councillors who give up a considerable amount of time in maintaining the governance of Council and working for the betterment of the Bourke Shire area. Andrew Lewis MAYOR, BOURKE SHIRE COUNCIL Page 4 of 60 Bourke Shire Council Annual Report 2012/2013 GENERAL MANAGER’S FOREWORD The 2012-2013 financial year has been a positive one for Bourke Shire Council and the community with the Council delivering on many of its goals outlined in its Operational and Delivery Plans. Council is involved in a diverse range of activities throughout the Shire with the responsibilities and duties spread across its Roads, Town Services, Water & Wastewater, Environmental Services, Tourism and Economic Development Departments. Highlights throughout the year have included: Renewal of the Louth Toilets (in conjunction with the Louth Progress Association) - $87,000.00 Reseal Louth Airstrip $66,000.00 Warraweena Street Well $552,000 Reseal Regional Roads $429,000 Renewal Deadmans Creek Bridge $600,000 Construction of new cell at Waste Depot $129,000 Purchase new Garbage Truck $319,000 Purchase Frontend Loader $219,000 Beemery Bridge Construction and Opening Rehabilitation of Mitchell Highway North $780,000 Widening of Kamillaroi Highway $600,000 Upgrade of Willera Crossing $70,000 Digitization of the Western Herald – Grant $27,000 Town Street Reseals - $220,000 Council has continued to work on its financial sustainability and it is pleasing that several key indicators that highlight the financial performance of the organisation have improved as has our ability to fund our long-term commitments. The Promoting Better Practice Review was positive in its comments regarding how Bourke Shire Council was operating and offered a number of recommendations for improvements which have all been accepted and many already implemented. I thank all of the Managers and staff across the organisation for the work that they are undertaking and the progress made in achieving our Delivery and Operational Plans. I would also like to thank the Councillors for their direction and guidance in setting the goals, vision and policies of Bourke Shire Council and their commitment to the future of the community. Thank you to all Councillors, Staff and community members for making Annette and I feel welcome in Bourke and I look forward to the upcoming year and the opportunity to further deliver on the organisational and community goals. The years ahead will not be without challenges but with a positive and “can do” attitude across all sections of the community we will achieve these goals.

  • “Hottest Year on Record” in Australia
    ALBERT PARKER, CLIFFORD D. OLLIER QUAESTIONES GEOGRAPHICAE 36(1) • 2017 POLEMIC PAPER1 DISCUSSION OF THE “HOTTEST YEAR ON RECORD” IN AUSTRALIA ALBERT PARKER1, CLIFFORD D. OLLIER2 1School of Engineering and Physical Science, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia 2School of Earth and Environment, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, Australia Manuscript received: October 11, 2016 Revised version: February 03, 2017 PARKER, A., OLLIER, C.D., 2017. Discussion of the “hottest year on record” in Australia. Quaestiones Geographicae 36(1), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 79–91, 7 figs, 1 table. ABSTRACT: The global temperature trends provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology are artificially exaggerated due to subjective and unidirectional adjustments of recorded values. The present paper aims to promote the use of the raw stations’ data corrected only for urban heat island formation. The longer temperature records of Australia exhibit significant oscillations with a strong quasi-60 years’ signature of downward phases 1880 to 1910, 1940 to 1970 and 2000 to present, and upwards phases 1910 to 1940 and 1970 to 2000. A longer oscillation with downward phase until 1910 and an upwards phase afterwards is also detected. The warming since 1910 occurred at a nearly constant rate. Over the full length of the long Australian records since the end of the 1800s, there is no sign of warming or increased occur- rence of extreme events. The monthly highest and mean maximum temperatures do not exhibit any positive trend. The differences between monthly highest and lowest, or monthly mean maximum and mean minimum temperatures, are all reducing because of urban heat island formation.

  • Gundabooka National Park Report Compr
    Ecological Study of the Endangered Bristle-nosed bat (Mormopterus ‘species 6’) and Survey of Microchiropteran Bats in Gundabooka National Park Report for NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service Upper Darling Region Michael Pennay NSW Department of Environment & Conservation PO Box 733, Queanbeyan NSW 2620 2 Summary The primary aim of this study was to ascertain basic ecological information about the Endangered Bristle-nosed Bat (Mormopterus ‘species 6’) The Bristle-nosed bat is one of Australia’s least known microbats, known from only 22 specimens captured at scattered locations in the arid and semi arid regions of central Australia, Queensland and north-western New South Wales. Nothing is known of its ecology. It is listed as Endangered in NSW on the basis of its rarity (only 6 individuals known prior to this study) and Data deficient by the IUCN. Recent genetic investigations into the taxonomy of Australian molossids suggests that the Bristle-nosed bat is currently misplaced and in fact belongs in a monotypic genus separate from other Australian Mormopterus, further elevating the conservation significance of the species on the basis of genetic uniqueness (Reardon 2006). During a 10 day study in November 2005 10 Bristle-nosed bats were trapped at Gundabooka National Park in north-western NSW. Using radio transmitters the bats were tracked to locate roosts and monitor the foraging behaviour of the species. General behavioural and morphological observations including diet, flight patterns, airframe design and echolocation call were also recorded. Key Results · Three diurnal roosts were located including one maternity roost · The bats were found to roost communally, sometimes with other species · Roosts were all located in Bimbil Box and Inland Red Box tree hollows with tiny entrances amongst the fringing vegetation of a large dry creek channel (Yanda Creek) · Both foraging activity and roost locations were significantly biased in favour of riparian habitat along Yanda creek channel and avoiding the surrounding mulga shrublands.

  • Modelling Australian and Global Temperatures
    Modelling Australian and Global Temperatures: What’s Wrong? Bourke and Amberley as Case Studies Paper by Jennifer Marohasy, John Abbot, Ken Stewart and Dennis Jensen, with the talk to be delivered by Jennifer Marohasy at the invitation of the Sydney Institute on Wednesday 25 June 2014 at the Gallipoli Club On 3rd January this year, David Jones, Manager of Climate Monitoring and Predictions at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said on ABC radio that: “We know every place across Australia is getting hotter, and very similarly almost every place on this planet. So, you know, we know it is getting hotter and we know it will continue to get hotter. It’s a reality, and something we will be living with for the rest of this century.” That morning the Bureau of Meteorology had put out a media release headed “hottest year on record” explaining that in 2013 the average annual temperature for Australia was 1.20 degree C above the long-term average of 21.8 degree C, breaking the previous record set in 2005 by 0.17 degree C. Such reference to changes in fractions of a degree suggests the Bureau has very accurate temperature records. This paper considers the records for Bourke and Amberley and the methodology employed by the Bureau in compiling the annual statistics from such temperature series. We will also consider how NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) homogenizes data from Amberley in the development of its annual global mean temperature. Homogenization refers to a process of changing the actual temperature records using mathematical algorithms.

  • Knowing El Niño: Integrating Knowledges of Managing Climate
    Knowing El Niño: Integrating knowledges of managing climate variability in the eastern Australian rangelands Peat Leith BSc (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania, April 2009. i Declaration This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other higher degree or graduate diploma in any tertiary institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except when due reference is made in the text of the thesis. ............................................................................... Peat Leith This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. ............................................................................... Peat Leith ii Abstract Climate variability in Australia’s rangelands leads to large swings in agricultural productivity from year to year. Contemporary policy has framed such variability as a manageable risk and Australian governments have fostered the development of a scientific community to assist farmers and graziers to manage climate risk via models, predictions and various information products. Meanwhile, farmers and graziers make decisions on the basis of diverse forms of information and knowledge. This thesis is a qualitative analysis of the knowledge boundaries among these scientific and lay communities. I conducted the research in three parts. Firstly, I undertook and analysed 35 in- depth, semi-structured interviews with Australian scientists involved in research, development and extension of climate-related risk management tools. These technologies are based on climate models, which predict the impacts or dynamics of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and other major climatic fluctuations.
